Super Bowl

Tonight at around 6:30pm EST Super Bowl XLVIII (“48″ to us non-Romans) between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks–the league’s #1 offense versus the #1 defense, while both being #1 seeds in their respective conferences during the playoffs. Here’s a preview. It should be a great game–Vegas still has the game with the Broncos [...]

The NFL’s preseason gets going tonight, and before you can blink the “Prediction Machine” has posted your team’s odds for winning the Super Bowl. It’s basically just water-cooler material, but let’s indulge. The Top Five Best Odds: San Francisco 49ers (20.1%), Denver Broncos (14.6%), Green Bay Packers (10.5%), New England Patriots (8.9%), and Seattle Seahawks [...]

The week before the Super Bowl, our President decided to give an interview with the New Republic in which he took aim at player safety in football: I’m a big football fan, but I have to tell you if I had a son, I’d have to think long and hard before I let him play [...]

Today, word came out that the NFL team owners and the NFLPA have agreed to a contract through 2021. Phew! And all it cost the fans was the meaningless Hall of Fame game! I’ve never been too concerned about the details of this conflict, except that I didn’t like the potential 18-game season (which is [...]

Episode #2 of Axis of Right Radio is now available. In this episode, Mike, Ryan, and Sal discuss Sarah Palin and her role in the Tea Party Movement; Barack Obama’s attempts at “bi-partisanship” in convening a health care summit with Democrats and Republicans; the infamous Demon Sheep Ad, and its impact; the Super Bowl game, [...]

Audi paid the big bucks for this commercial in last night’s Super Bowl in order to promote their “green” cars: To most it’s just Super Bowl silly, but I couldn’t help but think about a particular Liberal friend whose hyperactive about everything green. I’m pretty sure that’s his perfect little Eco-Nazi world! Personally, while a [...]

Our government is filled with incompetent people who have no regard for the taxpayer’s money and will waste it on ineffective, inconsequential drivel that accomplishes nothing. If you don’t believe me, take a look at this ad for the U.S. Census that cost the taxpayers $2.5 million dollars, that aired during last night’s Super Bowl. [...]

Now, I know it’s a drop in the bucket of Obama’s $3.9 trillion budget, but if the Government is in the process of tightening the purse strings and cutting waste, why does the Census Bureau need to spend $2.5 million on a Superbowl ad to tell people to fill out their census forms? That $2.5 [...]

New England Patriots inside linebacker Tedy Bruschi is set to announce today that after 13 seasons and 5 Super Bowls, it is finally time for him to retire. Not only was Bruschi a class-act, but he was a critical part of the Patriots’ “bend-but-don’t-break” defense that carried the Pats to three Super Bowl victories in four years [...]

Long have there been calls to make Super Bowl Monday a holiday since absenteeism and productivity resulting from the Super Bowl “flu” can be costly: last year 4.4 million late-ins and an estimated 1.5 million extra absences were phoned in. Some have also estimated that $16 million per minute lost during the week preceding the Super Bowl on people running [...]

Here’s the ad in question. I personally think it’s pretty awesome: NBC stated that it does not intend to air political advocacy ads during the Super Bowl. That’s their prerogative. Yet, they told PETA that they might get their ad on if they edited it to coincide with NBC’s ethical standards a little bit more, but on [...]

My wife, MrsSal, has started her own blog, primarily focused on recipes, but also on other “Domestic Pursuits.” In celebration of Super Bowl XLIII, she has collected 10 appetizer recipes for the big game, calling it her “2009 Super Bowl Appetizer Extravaganza“ There is some great food here, so check it out, and enjoy the [...]

File this one under “Huh?” A day after being ruled ineligible to play in tomorrow’s game against division rival Washington Redskins due to a hamstring injury, New York Giants’ wide receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg and was rushed to the hospital. There aren’t too many details at this point. OK… Plaxico [...]

Word is buzzing that Dick Cheney may not be invited to speak at the Republican National Convention. A sitting two-term Vice President has never been snubbed by the incumbent party’s convention that I can think of in modern times. I know that if Cheney doesn’t go it’ll be spun as his “choice” to help McCain, but [...]

This New York Jets fan is proud to congratulate the New York Giants for winning Super Bowl XLII 17-14 over the New England Patriots Cheaters and removing the stain that tarnished this season and threatened to remain on the record books forever. By stopping the Patriots, the Giants showed that although cheating can seemingly give [...]
